No Water, No A/C, Freeway Noise, Roaches

The water is frequently shut off, with or without notice. When there is notice, the water will usually be off from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (2 times a month). When residents are not given notice that the water will be shut off, it can last from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (1 time a month).
Also, since the A/C units in the rooms pre-date dirt, they frequently break ... which is a pain during the summer. The maintenance staff, although kind, have difficulty fixing the units ...
There is constant noise from the adjacent freeways ... and there are roaches (usually during the summer). I've seen 5 roaches within the last 2 years.
To be (somewhat) fair, the rent is not too high, the apartment is close to a decent grocery store (Ralphs), the parking attendants are cordial, and the apartment is close to college (USC).
Nevertheless, I do not recommend this apartment complex, unless you have a low tolerance for a lack of water, roaches, malfunctioning A/C units and noise.

I have been here a number of years. There are many problems; the water a big one. Yesterday the water was off from 11am to after 10pm due to a pipe breaking I was told. The owners will not spend money to keep it up so as result, maintenance and upkeep are not good. Seeing 5 roaches in the past two years is not bad. I saw 5 over a week several months ago. On the upside; the double paned windows do block out the noise from the freeway. It's the cheapest halfway decent place to live downtown. When I moved in this building it was upscale. Unfortunately allowing USC inmature students to move in when there was a lack of housing on campus changed the climate totally and it has not been the same since. Let me be clear not all students but I have seen many go and come having to call security and the police many times over the years due to their irresponsible activities.
